"Left with a Trust" by Nellie Hellis is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the Grainger family, particularly the children, as they grapple with the absence of their father, Mr. Grainger, who has left home to work in Australia to pay off the family debts. Themes of responsibility, family loyalty, and growing up are explored through the eyes of the children, especially Dora, who takes it upon herself to become the new caretaker of her siblings and mother. The opening of the book introduces us to the Grainger household on the day of Olive's ninth birthday, which also marks the last day the family will be together for a long time due to their father's departure. Mr. Grainger explains his departure to his children, urging them to support and care for their mother during his absence. Each child is assigned a responsibility, with Dora tasked to help manage the household and educate her younger siblings. The scene captures a mix of emotions, from the children's joviality over the birthday cake to the underlying tension of impending separation, setting the stage for the challenges they will face together as a family.
